Ruben Amorim's likely appointment at Milan affects Rafael Leao's future

Summary

Serie A club Milan is close to appointing Ruben Amorim as head coach, which could influence Rafael Leao's future with the team. Amorim is expected to implement his 3-4-2-1 system, emphasizing the role of wide attackers. Leao, who has indicated he wants to leave, may find a more suitable position within Amorim's tactical setup. If no clubs make offers for him, he could remain at Milan and thrive in a central role. Under previous coach Massimiliano Allegri, Leao struggled to establish himself in an ideal position, but Amorim's system may unlock his potential.
